a) consolidation memory's ability to construct new protein pathways for storage.
b) sensory memory's ability to hold visual images for a fraction of a second before going to the next image.
c) sensory memory's ability to hold visual images for long periods of time for comparison to other images.
d) long-term memory's ability to recall movie facts and errata even years after watching a particular show.
b Explanation: The rapid fading of everything that we see from sensory memory, only to be
replaced by the next visual image gives the illusion of visual continuity. In fact, the motion that we perceive is only possible because of the presence of sensory memory.
